Zirconium oxychloride, chemical formula ZrOCl2, is generally in the form of octahydrate (octahydrate zirconium oxychloride, ZrOCl2·8H2O). White needle-shaped or filamentous crystals. Good water solubility, also soluble in methanol, ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in hydrochloric acid, insoluble in other organic solvents. Used to make zirconium dioxide, and other paint desiccants, rubber additives, etc.

PRODUCT USE

Zirconium oxychloride is the main raw material for the production of other zirconium products such as zirconium dioxide, zirconium carbonate, zirconium sulfate, composite zirconium oxide, and the separation of zirconium hafnium to prepare metal zirconium hafnium. It can also be used in textiles, leather, rubber additives, metal surface treatment agents, paint desiccants, refractory materials, ceramics, catalysts, fire retardants and other products.
